The treadmill

Pulse Control is standard

All Rodby treadmills delivered with Control System 2.0 features Pulse Control as standard. Pulse control requires a connected Polar pulse band (version 7 or 10) and allows you to set a target pulse (Target Pulse). The control system adjusts the speed of the belt to reach the user’s desired pulse. This is a very useful feature when you want to be sure to stay within the desired pulse range for endurance training, fat burning, aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise or interval training.

Track Simulation GPX is standard

Rodby treadmills with Control System 2.0 features an import function of a GPX file created by a GPS device so that you can exercise on the simulated track. This provides an excellent way to prepare for a race and exercise with almost the same conditions as the real track. Use Track Simulation GPX for your favorite home track in the forest or an competition track such as a marathon or the Vasaloppet.

Auto Positioning as Option

Treadmill with Control system 2.0 can be equipped with Auto Positioning. Auto positioning allows the treadmill through sensors to determine the user’s position and automatically increases the belt speed of the treadmill when the user approaches the front of the treadmill and decrease the belt speed when the user falls back on the belt. In this way, the user can control the speed of the belt through his own position during exercise.

Custom built skate treadmills

Rodby has built and installed a number of large skate treadmills where the customer’s special wishes really put us to the test. Here are some examples. The most spectacular is the treadmill in Östersund the so called Wind tunnel band.

The wind tunnel treadmill in Östersund

Rodby was been commissioned by the University in Östersund to build the largest model of treadmill, a custom-designed and custom-built RL5500E, with a unique tilting feature where the band can be controlled so that it is both uphill and downhill. The treadmill will be placed in a large wind tunnel and used in elite sports research for cross country skiing. The treadmill is specially constructed in galvanized steel for use in a simulated outdoor environment.
